Approximately 4,000 Fireworks Illuminate the Night Sky Over the Samino River - The Star of Ogori's Summer Night

About this spot

The Ogori Summer Festival Fireworks Grand Celebration held at Samino River Higashi-Tsu River Park from 8 PM to 9 PM on Saturday, July 25, 2026. Approximately 4,000 fireworks burst successively into the night sky along the river, and alongside the ribbons of light reflected on the water surface, brilliantly illuminates Yamaguchi's summer night. Fireworks launched from the open space of the river have nothing blocking the view, and the impressive sight of large blooms expanding directly overhead is the attraction. The fireworks long cherished by the community continue with rapid-fire bursts toward the finale, and the climax where sound and light crackle across the water surface is truly spectacular. Enjoying it with the river breeze, this will be an unforgettable summer night in Yamaguchi.

Tips

Check the organizer's official announcement in advance to confirm whether the event will be held in case of bad weather. Immediately after the event ends, returning visitors concentrate at JR Shin-Yamaguchi Station and surrounding roads, so it's recommended to wait a bit before leaving after the fireworks end. Since it will be dark underfoot, having a small light is reassuring.

Best time to visit

8:00 PM to 9:00 PM during the scheduled time. Secure your viewing spot by 30 minutes before the start.
